I’m going to go ahead and say it: Matchmaker is the worst episode of HIMYM to date. It was fine that Ted went to the matchmaker but, what ensues is what drags the storyline down. Marshall and Lily’s adventure with the cockamouse was okay, but it was weak and felt like it was just pieced together so that it wouldn’t be all about Ted. Barney and Robin are barely used. There was no reason for them to even be around. I’m not quite of the sequence of events when the show was first picked up but I know that a lot of shows are originally signed for 6 episodes. Matchmaker kinda feels like they weren’t expecting to get a full season and they rushed to get a script together. I wish this episode was its own disc so that I could throw it away.

I loved Swarley though. Just like when an Apatow alum shows up on the show, I love it when someone from the world of Joss Whedon shows up. In Swarley, there were 2! I’m a little disappointed that they haven’t called Barney Swarley since this episode. That would be cool.

I like the magazine subscription addressed to Swarlos!

(“suit up”, good one!)

Ha! Thanks for noticing Eduardo, I wondered if anybody would catch that. It was a fun little detail I added. I do stuff like that all the time. The name of this site’s WordPress theme is “Suit Up”.

Crazy Eyes is a MASSIVELY quotable episode. I should make a list of all the different variations on Swarley they came up with. Swarles Barkley, Swar-wait for it-ly, Bob Swaryly Mon, the list goes on.

“Hanging out at the coffee place is not nearly as much fun as hanging out at a bar” – Swarley

“Crazy Eyes” is definitely a winner.
I’m re-watching the episode as I write this, and it makes me want to quote everything they say.

And thanks for explaining how the score actually works; it makes much more sense now.

(On a side note, I love how it says “Wait for it…” when you submit a comment)

Jason, I'd been meaning to write about that movie coming out. The book was in Oprah's bookclub recently too I believe. I don't know much about it other than, for some reason, that author is on my 'must read' list. The movie also stars Catalina Sandino Moreno who I have a bit of a fascination with. (she was the titular character in Maria, Full of Grace). I didn't know Josh Radnor was ever on SFU. What season? Eh, I'll just look it up. I love that show (and Peter Krause) but found it a tad bit too depressing to watch in marathon format (which is what I like to do with shows, it seems). I'll have to go see LitToC and let you know what I thought. All I know is that it's about unrequited love, a Ted Mosby specialty!

Ok, finally got a chance to chime in on this one.

My vote definitely goes to Swarley, for the mere fact that Barney gets his….

Though I liked Dowisetrepla and the Cockamouse, they just can’t win the day over “Bob Swarley Mon”

On a slightly related side note to this….I watched the episode of Six Feet Under that Josh Radnor was in, the other day. I hadn’t really been as religious about IMDB as some of my HIMYM counterparts have been, so it was a bit of a surprise to see him. He plays a typical 70s guy….mustache and all. Kind of a cool episode. Six Feet Under is also a great show, though a bit more intense I would say

And on one more semi-related note, Ted’s favorite book (and my favorite actually….I swear it was my favorite before the show started) “Love in the Time of Cholera” comes out in movie format this Friday. I will be there at Midnight. It’s kind of a momentous occasion….Gabriel Garcia Marquez (the writer) is notorious for being picky about if and how his books are made into movies. The book is something like 20 years old now, and is JUST being made into a movie. So I’m just a tad bit excited.

Plus the new Mario game (Super Mario Galaxy) comes out this week…..should be a great week!

ohhhhhh…even though I’m an American, I kinda latched on to the international style of sports scoring back when I discovered soccer (win-draw-loss), so I got confused. Also I thought that you were rating first/second/third instead of just giving results as to which was the best.
